Find the Right Home Care Franchise Model to Match Your Goals
Single-Unit Franchise
A single-unit franchise gives you the right to operate one location using the franchisor’s brand, trademarks, and business model. It’s the most common type of franchise and offers a direct relationship between the franchisor and franchisee—no middle layer in between. Most owners actively run their location, gaining hands-on experience in every part of the business.
Multi-Unit Franchise
A multi-unit franchise lets you own and operate two or more locations within a region. Rather than managing day-to-day tasks yourself, you build a team to oversee operations across sites. This model enables faster scaling, larger market control, and often discounted franchise fees for multiple units—ideal for owners focused on growth and team leadership.
Area Development Franchise
An area development agreement grants exclusive rights to open a set number of units within a defined territory and time frame. You’ll pay an upfront development fee plus a franchise fee for each new unit. In return, you secure regional control and may receive financial incentives as you expand—a larger commitment, but a faster path to significant market presence.
Master Franchise
A master franchise (also called an area representative franchise) is a top-tier opportunity. You purchase the rights to develop the brand across a large territory—anything from a metro area to several states. You help recruit and support individual franchisees and share in their royalties and franchise fees, often receiving up to half of the revenue generated within your region. Investments typically start around $100,000, depending on territory size and brand.
Master Franchise LLC Partnerships
Interested in a master franchise but can’t take on full development duties? LLC partnerships offer a more passive route. By investing—usually starting around $50,000—you can join a group managed by an experienced partner who oversees the territory’s growth, allowing you to share in the potential returns while someone else handles operations.
